It seems Chris Bishop is not as concerned about such issues as he once
was . . .
You have posted a comment from Bishop made over 4 years ago. I have
no doubt that Bishop and a lot of other National MPs would prefer to
govern without NZF.
What is your point Rich? Are you inferring that Bishop is
inconsistent now and if so why?
No I don't think Bishop is inconsistent; I am sure he does not like
the attack on democracy and on the integrity of our democracy that the Fast-track Approvals Bill represents, but all three of the political
parties in government are not prepared to recognise that the Emperor
has No Clothes - they are pretending that an agreement by the three
''leaders'' is binding on the MPs of those parties and on Parliament -
the reality is that Luxon was rolled by the well researched and
rehearsed Atlas policies of Seymour, and the reactive well-honed
skills of Peters who similarly wanted to repay donors to keep his
dinghy afloat. The neophyte Luxon did not know what hit him - he
managed to limit the racist attack on a solemn Treaty contract, but
probably would not understand the principles set out by Chris Bishop,
who I am sure is just as appalled by the prospect of Shane Jones
running amok as he was back in 2020. They can see the train wreck
coming but by putting those agreements ahead of the countries
interests, I am sure some of them see the crash coming - probably when
Peters is asked to hand over being Deputy PM. The old hands like Gerry
Brownlee and Judith Collins are keeping their heads down, knowing
that when it all blows up they want to be able to avoid the backlash -
as well all can see the divisive racism; accompanied by the expected unacceptable behaviour of Shane Jones when they give him sole
authority to balance ethics against personal interests; are likely to
blow the coalition apart. Bishops hope can only be that Labour /
Greens are not ready to be back in government; he too will be looking
for what happens after Luxon is rolled. Already the divisive nature
of the government, and their so obviously governing for the wealthy
white at the expense of the majority is causing significant problems
for them all.
While I do not like his policies, Chris Bishop clearly said what felt
in that post back in 2020; I have no reason to believe he has lost the
aversion to unethical behaviour demonstrated by him at that time.
